Lucy McKinley was on the edge, and she was about to fall.
Every day was a losing battle against the monsters that had consumed every inch of her mind and her soul. She couldn't drown them out, they never seemed to be silenced or even be made less prominent by anything other than the feel of cold metal against her warm skin or the bitter taste of the pills as one too many slid down her throat. Some people would say she was addicted to the pain, but that was not the truth. She was addicted to the sweet silence that they offered her, regardless of the fact they were very dangerous things to dabble with for only a few hours of relief, she was willing to take it. It wasn't the best release, but it was the ONLY release.
Until she met him.
He didn't only silence her demons. He took them away - or so she thought. This boy became her fairytale, but as everyone knows, every fairytale must come to an end, be it a happy ending or... well, not so much.
Is Aaron Lord the saviour that she believes him to be? Or is he that thing - that tiny little thing - that will push her over the edge?
A heartbreaking tale of a life gone wrong, and a relationship gone worse.

Caged By Him
"WHY CAN'T YOU GET IT INSIDE YOUR HEAD?" He trapped my trembling body between his arms and slammed his fist into the wall. I flinch at the sound as I feel tears forming in my eyes. "I'M SICK AND TIRED OF YOUR CRYING. JUST ACCEPT THE FACT THAT YOU'RE NEVER LEAVING. THIS IS YOUR LIFE NOW, WITH ME" He spits, anger consuming his voice as I push myself further against the wall. Shutting my eyes closed and turning my face to the side as I do. Moments later, I feel his rough hand on my waist and his finger grazing my cheek. "Look at me, love." His hand grips onto my jaw, his thumb playing across my lower lip. He turns my face to meet his as I lower my gaze to the floor. He lowers himself to my level and I feel his breath fanning my cheek causing my breathing to become unsteady. "I love you so much, darling. But you need to learn. You need to learn that you won't be going anywhere. You're mine." With that being said, his other hand slides down to my waist "Your entire body, your mind, your soul. All mine." All I could do was tremble at his touch. How can someone so beautiful be so heartless? ~~~~~~~~~~ All a 19 year old Aurora Shaw wanted to do was work to make a living and volunteer at the orphanage.
